Ex-Buckeyes star Oden invited to Big3 Draft Combine

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant said it is "nonsense" for anyone to think that former center Greg Oden is the biggest bust in NBA history. Former Ohio State Buckeyes center Greg Oden - the No. 1 overall pick (ahead of Kevin Durant) in the 2007 NBA Draft - will join the Big3 player draft pool and attend the 3-on-3 league's combine this summer, the league announced via Twitter. After one year at Ohio State, former Xavier head coach Thad Matta said Oden "was going to be one of the greatest to ever play in the NBA." In 2016, the 7-foot Oden said his basketball career was over and called himself "the biggest bust in NBA history." Oden averaged 8 points in just 105 NBA games over two seasons
